The Real TTT

[Deleted]

Maybe we can switch back to TTT and Thankful Thursday next week?

1. I washed and oiled one of the saddles we bought, I didn't think it would be salvageable but it's looking good so far.

2. We booked our wedding venue yesterday!

3. The wedding hasn't really hit me yet, I don't think it will until I try on dresses.

4. The pigs were excited to see me this morning, they were running back and forth at the gate oinking, that started my day off right.

5. I LOVE coffee (decaf) but it makes my anxiety flare up badly, the waves of anxiety make me exhausted and give me headaches... I still want to drink coffee but hate the side effects so I've been having it only every 3-4 days.

6. We got the green light from ASW to use the girls new names!

7. We made a big decision about our family this week, we are done adding. I am so relieved to not have the pressure of another adoption/child on my plate.

8. I want lasagna.

9. And garlic bread.

10. And a new Kristin Hannah book.

1. I went to the dentist this morning. I HATE going to the dentist, but this new one isn't too bad. I got a clean bill of health and don't have to go back for 6m. WHOOO HOOO!

2. L took the kids to camp this morning because my dentist appt wasn't until 9. I thought I was going to have a whole hour in the house alone this morning, but the cleaners arrived at 7:45 and I had to scramble to get dressed and out of their hair. I shouldn't complain about someone coming to clean our house, but I was really looking forward to an empty house and having morning news on while I got ready at my leisure.

3. The closer it gets, the more bummed I am about having a staycation this year. I would really like to get away.

4. All my friends (and I) are turning 40 in the next year and a few of my friends are thinking of doing a long weekend together. We're trying to figure out where to go that won't cost $$$.

5. How is today not Friday? Thankfully, I have another 3 day weekend (though we have a lot of stuff that we need to do on Monday.)

6. I am now reading "Orange is the New Black." The tv show is much better.

7. I didn't know if we'd actually use Kindles very much when I decided to buy them last Christmas, but L and I use them a lot and have been reading a lot more (and watching tv less.)

8. I feel like this identity theft thing will never get resolved.

9. I am really not ready for summer to be over. Homework? Rushing around to get everything done at night? Getting up 30m earlier? Blech.

10.I can't believe that the kids are going to be in 2nd grade. How am I old enough to have kids? a career? a mortgage? etc???

Yeeeeeeessss, that would make me so happy!

1. I CAN'T WAIT for this weekend!

2. I really want to leave early today, I will have my 40 hours in for the week at 3:25 this afternoon, even with coming in late yesterday for my dentist visit, but my boss is not giving me a straight answer on whether I can. I mean, the overtime is nice for my bank account and all, but...

3. I am so excited for an adult weekend. My baby is going to have an awesome time with his Grandma and Grandpa, and we're going to have a great time in a cabin with a pool and hot tub and campfires. Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.

4. I hope my back holds out for kayaking tomorrow.

5. The Perseid meteor shower is supposed to be at its peak this weekend, too! I'm taking my gear and hoping that the weather holds out and I can get some shots of it. The new moon just happened, so light from that should be minimal if I can get some clear skies.

6. Oh! I think I'm going to be able to leave at 3:30! YES!

7. Okay, time to focus.

8. Whew, making progress. Just a few more things and I can get out of here!

9. YES! TIME TO GO!

10. I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend if I don't make it back on!

1. Tonight is parent night at GS day camp. The girls are serving us dessert they will have made this afternoon and then doing skits.

2. I am hoping E will get to bed at a more reasonable time tonight, we've had some busy/late nights this week.

3. Eating a golden delicious (or something similar) man this thing has some pucker power!

4. A does not know yet whether she will be working the weekend and won't know for sure until tomorrow morning.

5. I am trying not to get my hopes up.

6. A moves to 2nd shift on Monday. Thus if her asshat boss had been planning ahead, he would have already had coverage for her this weekend so that she could transition her body from being asleep during the time she will now be at work.

7. I've been working on this training thing for a new study all morning and feel like I'm making painfully slow progress.

8. Two weeks from tomorrow we leave for vacation.

9. bluedaisyus I hope you two have a fantastic weekend away!

10. Time to get back to it...sigh.

1. The last 36 hours have been absolutely insane. I'm hopping off this emotional roller coaster to process and will be back to do 2-10 (or 2-28) later.

[eratmama]

quinny-- hope everything is ok & has calmed down

1. I am loving orange is the new black!

2. Good thing since our ten (!?!) year old DVD player died.

3. We bought a portable DVD player for our trip last weekend--didn't use it at all. I wish I kept it in the box. I guess I will keep it until we get a minivan -- most of those have built in DVD players, right?

4. B turned 6!! We are having a party on Sunday & she is so excited.

5. We made decorations together last night and she told me, "It's fun to do projects with you, mom. <3. Mom paycheck right there.

6. My mom hates that this is a combined friend/family party. I don't want to cook & clean three times.

7. I am so amazed at how well my kids did on a 7 hour road trip and five days camping. It was so relaxing and wonderful.

8. L took the kids to see her mom in Chicago today. I am working for a few hours, but then have the house to myself for a whole afternoon!!!!

9. L had a big job interview today which would mean better hours for our family. Fingers crossed, please!

10. I wonder about biomom being pregnant. A lot. I really want to know if she is. (I have no real reason to think this. Just a hunch)
